Except for a huge stone tablet erected in the middle of the king's cemetery and even within a few hundred meters around it, the ground was scorched black in other places.
The rocks and gravel melted and bonded together, turning into a huge crystal with a diameter of several hundred meters.
Among them, from time to time you can see some blackened bones and slag, which are the remnants of the people in this world who were unable to escape from the violent thunder and lightning just now.
At least hundreds of people died in the thunder and lightning riot just now. Under the violent thunder and lightning, many people died before they even had time to scream.
Although Master Herman has warned everyone not to get too close, in front of the treasures in the King's Cemetery, who would heed such a reminder.
Very few people listened to this reminder, and most people regarded this reminder as alarmist, with the purpose of preventing them from fighting for the treasure in the King's Cemetery.
"What a terrifying thunder and lightning, just a little bit, just a little bit short of death..."
"Fortunately I retreated quickly..."
"I should have listened to Master Herman's reminder."
"Dina and the others... were swallowed up by lightning!"
…
The surviving people either had palpitations on their faces or were grieving for the death of their companions, and their voices were mixed.
"At least hundreds of people died..."
Although it was quite close to the King's Cemetery, he had the strength of a barbaric warrior after all, and Gray became one of the people who successfully escaped.
Even though he already knew that the King's Cemetery was extremely dangerous, he still couldn't help but feel frightened when he saw hundreds of people dying in front of him.
After all, it was a life of flesh and blood a few seconds ago, but now only bones and dregs are left, and some even have no bones left.
"Why… "
Protected by the strong men of the Addison family, Master Herman also escaped. Seeing so many people dying, he let out a helpless sigh.
"Grandpa Herman, don't blame yourself. These people who died were all blinded by greed. You have already tried to dissuade them, but no one was willing to listen."
Samantha cried out in relief.
"Yes, Master Herman need not blame himself, these people were killed by their own greed!"
Several other major forces also spoke.
Gray looked at the group of survivors and saw among them the few nobles who had come with him before. None of them were injured, but they were a little embarrassed. They had bumped into each other in the panic just now. from.
Several people did not come for the treasures in the King's Cemetery, but just to pay homage to the King's Cemetery. After receiving Gray's reminder, several people came to watch the King's Cemetery from a distance, so although their strength was not high, they all survived.
Then Gray looked at his feet. Half of his body was charred and the brute ant was crawling. Although it was severely injured, it was finally saved and was not directly destroyed.
He put it away, and he only needed to leave the desert, find a forest, and use his feedback ability to recover.
The seven Brutal Blood warriors who cooperated with Brute Ant also survived, but they were seriously injured and needed a long period of rest to recover. They will definitely not be able to participate in the subsequent exploration of the King's Cemetery.
After confirming that there was no danger, everyone boldly stepped on the blackened stone slabs and walked towards the tombstone in the center. They were extremely cautious and cautious in every step, for fear that there would be runic mechanisms left.
However, until they passed through the scorched area of hundreds of meters and came to the tombstone with a height of more than ten meters, no rune mechanism was triggered. It was obvious that the rune mechanism had been completely destroyed in the explosion just now.
"This is the Star Stone. No wonder it wasn't destroyed in the explosion just now."
Coming closer, Gray carefully looked at the tombstone and discovered that the material of the tombstone was extremely special. The surface of the lavender material was glittering like stars in the night sky. This was something Gray had seen in a book. A special stone star stone.
It is said that this is a precious stone from the outside world. It is made of solid material and is an excellent material for drawing runes.
It is extremely precious. The same volume of stone is dozens of times that of gold. I didn't expect that there is a large piece of stone here that is more than ten meters high.
Gray turned his head to look at Master Herman, and sure enough he saw shock in Master Herman's eyes. For a rune master like him, such stone was no different from the weapon in the hands of the Blood Warrior.
"There are words here..."
Everyone soon discovered that the tombstone was not just a lightning symbol, but also had text.
It's just that because of the many stones in the stone forest, it can't be seen from the outside.
"The Tomb of Purple Thunder King, this is indeed the tomb of Purple Thunder King!"
"Year 327 of the Kingdom Calendar - Year 751 of the Kingdom Calendar. If calculated this way, wouldn't King Purple Thunder live for 424 years...?"
"How is that possible? Aren't the lifespans of king-level experts generally not exceeding 300 years old? How could the Purple Thunder King live to be over 400 years old?"
Many people had surprise and suspicion on their faces.
Their understanding of king-level powerhouses is very limited, but they also know that the life span of king-level powerhouses generally does not exceed 300 years, so when they suddenly heard that King Zi Lei lived for more than 400 years, their hearts were filled with excitement. Doubt and disbelief.
"Did you take some kind of precious medicine that can extend your life? Or is it because you are extremely powerful and have a very high level of transformation?"
There were also a few people with shock on their faces, including Gray.
If it is just because of taking precious medicine that can extend life, then it is okay, but if it is not because of taking precious medicine that can extend life, but because of one's own evolutionary level, it would be terrifying to have such a long life.
The lifespan of an ordinary king-level powerhouse can generally reach close to 300 years. The opponent can live to more than 400 years old, and it is likely that he has completed three evolutions.
After completing four evolutions, you can become a being above the king level. The opponent can complete three evolutions, and you are only one evolution away from being able to become a being above the king level. You can imagine how powerful the opponent was during his lifetime.

Everyone gathered around the stone tablet, and some even touched the handwriting. After all, it was probably written by a king-level expert.
Suddenly, someone didn't know who pressed on a protrusion on the stone tablet, and the stone tablet suddenly shook violently.
"not good… "
With the previous lesson learned, everyone was startled and fled from the tombstone like frightened birds. They retreated hundreds of meters before stopping.
However, the terrifying mechanism did not appear. Instead, a huge tombstone was slowly sinking. Eventually, the entire tombstone sank to the ground. At the same time, an entrance appeared on the surface.
"It's the entrance..."
"The treasure is inside..."
"Quick, don't let others snatch it away."
…
The people who had been running away just now had red eyes and wished they had an extra pair of legs and rushed towards the entrance, but the people who were faster than them were the people from the seven major forces.
But in just a few moments, people from the seven major forces had formed an encirclement, surrounding the entrance to the King's Cemetery, and formed a confrontation with people from other forces.
"Why, why aren't we allowed in?"
"You are so overbearing, everyone in the King's Cemetery has a share!"
…
The entrance to the King's Cemetery is right in front of you, but there are people blocking the way. The people from these forces are like gamblers who are jealous of gambling. They gather together. Their number is several times that of the seven major forces. They have abandoned their fear of the seven major forces. , all put pressure on the seven major forces.
"Why, because we worked hard to crack the rune mechanism, but you didn't..."
Facing people whose number was several times their own, the people from the seven major forces had no intention of giving in and said coldly.
Even Gray, although he didn't take action, had no intention of letting these people enter the King's Cemetery.
The current situation is different from when he encountered obstacles a few days ago.
At that time, the Warren family did not make any contribution to the King's Cemetery, and the King's Cemetery did not belong to the Warren family. Naturally, there was no reason to stop him from approaching the King's Cemetery.
But it was different now. In order to open the entrance to the King's Cemetery, he and the seven major forces paid a heavy price. Each of the seven major forces had a barbarian-blood warrior seriously injured. Gray also paid a heavy price for a barbarian-level blood beast that was half destroyed. price.
After paying so much price, naturally these forces will not be allowed to enter without any sacrifice.
Ignoring these snobbish people, Gray and the seven major forces began to discuss how to arrange for people to enter.
After discussion, it was finally decided that the Addison family would allow 20 people to enter because of their invitation to Master Herman and their role in cracking the rune mechanism just now, while Gray and the other six factions would allow ten people to enter.
Seeing that the seven major forces were determined not to let them in, the other snobs were all anxious, but they had no choice but to do so.
Even though they have a large number of people here, if they really fight against the seven major forces, they don't have much chance of winning. After all, the seven major forces sent this time are all absolute elites.
"Sir, you are only one person, please sell me a place. I am willing to pay 100,000."
"Sell it to me, I'm willing to pay 200,000."
But there were also some people who keenly discovered the opportunity and gathered around Gray to buy places from him.
In the end, Gray sold nine places at a price of 200,000 gold coins each. He had already made a small profit before entering the King's Cemetery. Green was quite satisfied.
He did not give the quota to those noble children. After all, they were not strong enough. After entering, it would be no different than dying.
Although the rune mechanism outside the cemetery has been destroyed, it does not mean that there is no rune mechanism inside. Moreover, if the treasure is encountered later, the major forces will definitely fight for it.
After gathering the number of people, a total of 90 people walked up the stairs to the King's Cemetery.
The inside of the tomb did not appear dark, but there was light coming out. It was the light of the rune lamp. When the entrance to the tomb was opened, it should have activated the rune lamp in the tomb.
After going all the way down the stairs, almost a hundred meters down, the stairs finally reached the end, and Gray and others entered a huge room.
